    Mullvad no longer supports port forwarding, making it completely useless for torrenting which is my main use case.

        Had to leave MV because of this. I went to Proton, though I did need special software to support its form of port forwarding without introducing a regular hassle. All good now, mostly.

          I was looking at Proton too but I’m already a customer and the VPN is going to be shared with family members. I worries if they can access my mail if I share my account.

            You can get around this by generating the files for OpenVPN or Wireguard for them and sending those.

              I’ve been using fast vpn for android app for studying on my phone and tablet. It’s convenient for accessing educational content and research papers while commuting or studying at cafes.The main issue is it drains battery faster than I’d like, especially during long study sessions. Sometimes the app crashes randomly, and reconnecting can be frustrating when you’re trying to focus. The interface feels a bit cluttered too. It works well enough for basic student needs, but there’s definitely room for improvement in stability and optimization.
